I"ll Be Back!

You might have noticed that I've been absent a whole lot lately. I wish I could report that I've been traveling somewhere exotic or busily engaged in a life changing new hobby.

The truth is that I've been trying to rebuild the design business after our recent move to a new city. Being a small business owner means that every time we move I need to find new clients, trades and sources.

For any of you who blog you know how time consuming it can be. I love that it's forced me to do all the small and large projects that I might otherwise take months or years to finish up. I don't love that I am devoting hours each day to this non-paying pursuit while I should be focussed on my paying business.

I have decided to take a couple of weeks to get things moving and leave the blog on the back burner. I will be back mid May and hope to report that things are under control and I'm only a short time away from fortune and fame.

In the meantime, head over to Interior Groupie for our first Blogger Book Club book review. Heather is reviewing The Paris Wife and everyone is welcome to chime in.

If you missed out on this book, get to the book store and pick up next month's read. We will be reviewing "When God Was a Rabbit" by Sarah Winman on June 4 right here.

Perhaps your new design enterprise will also include some aspect of e-Design services? Whatever direction you decide to pursue, best wishes! {Selfishly} Looking forward to your return to blogging and sharing great ideas and projects.

Yup, definitely have missed you! And you will be missed in these next few weeks, too. I totally get the hours each day/non-paying pursuit... moving definitely has its impacts. Good luck. Will be waiting for your return!

I totally understand being distracted by all that a move entails. I had hoped to launch Linen Haus by now and I haven't even begun! Sigh...it will come in time. You are smart to prioritize your business - we'll be here when you return! I hope this time helps you get things well underway!

Yes! We've missed you but honestly, it's refreshing to hear that you are concentrating on getting your business together and putting the blog on the back burner. I can relate with this. I am looking forward to seeing you soon to catch up. We missed you last night as the whole crew was at the new Ikea opening. See U soon!

Good idea to focus on your paying business :-) Blogging is fun and it does provide lots of incentive to get projects done. But it can also be really time-consuming, and sometimes you need to walk away for a bit to get other stuff done. Good luck with getting your business up and running in your new town - I'm sure you'll do great! :-)

I am an Interior Designer living in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. My journey with design started when I was very young and I spent endless hours creating perfect interiors with magazines, scissors and glue. Today my job is to design beautiful and functional homes for clients but along the way I"m sharing my lessons with you.
